JEREMY CORBYN has this week announced Labour will back Remain in the event of no deal, or a Brexit that threatens workers’ rights, while John McDonnell recently claimed Labour should pivot to a Remain position, given the party’s current performance in polls.
Corbyn is correct to ensure a hard Brexit doesn’t break the backs of the poorest, but when the time comes to decide whether to fully back Remain in any circumstances, it would be wise to avoid going all in.
The party’s election policy on Brexit has yet to be announced, but should a general election be called, Labour will have to announce to the electorate whether it will take the country out of the EU or not, if Britain has not yet broken with the EU.
